cortical bipolar morphology
A cell morphology that inheres in neurons which have two principal dendrites that emerge from the soma and begin to branch some distance from it, have few spines, and branch in narrow fields. This is in contrast to bitufted morphology where branching occurs close to the soma. [ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18568015 doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-369497-3.10004-4 ]

This is specific to cortical bipolar cells and are distinguished from retinal bipolar cell morphology which has an axon and dendrite emerging from opposite ends of the soma.
